New York | I just purchased a new Victory/fox air pump from my dealer part #2876654 and noticed that the gauge on the pump reads up to 300psi and 20bar... Since the owners manual says never to exceed 72psi why didn't Victory find a gauge that only reads to 100psi?? Wouldn't that be more accurate?
The reason I ask this is because when I put the pump on the valve stem it read zero.. and I thought that was odd... then if you look closely on the gauge there is only 3 red lines before 50psi... thats messed up in my book! Or am I missing something??? I wanted to put approximately 35psi in what line would you use to get that amount? I hope you think I'm ... awww.. never mind!!!

Edmonton Alberta, Canada | change the guage to a 100 psi unit. Or return it and have them get you the right unit! |

LaPorte,Tx. | That's not like the pump I have. Mine reads in 5 psi increments, can't remember but probably goes up to ~100 psi, and reads the pressure as soon as hooked up. |

Capitol Region of NH | I would return that unit. I use the 100 PSI pump from Progressive. Work really well. It does not lose air when connecting and disconnecting and has a button for air release if you need to let some out. Pumps up really fast and can be used for tires in a pinch. |

New York | Thanks for all the information everyone... I'll call parts at the dealership and see if he can't get me an airpump that goes to 100psi and exchange this unit.. |
